I haven't been here in a while, but that's a very interesting dateline on the carbs. Thanks for the info.

In trying to narrow things down, here's some additional Master Price and Reference Lists I picked up.

The first is for Lincoln and Continental, dated July 1, 1957. I cannot find any listings for anything related to the Super Marauder option as of this date. This Reference does not include Mercury so that is an open question.

The second is for Lincoln, Continental and Mercury, dated January 1, 1958. The only listings I can find, that do not appear in the July 1, 1957 Lincoln Reference are for possibly the SM intake manifold and carburetors.

There is no listing for the air breather or attaching parts or the entire Super Marauder "kits".

The kits are listed in the July 1, 1958 Reference List that was posted earlier.

The available reference materials seem to lag behind.

The only true production J code 430 6V car I've ever seen was produced on June 12th.

So the parts would be in production by then.

Assuming it wasn't the first one produced, parts would have pre dated 6/12/58.

Hi friends. I'm going to post a few more 430 Super Marauder related items that I've run across in the last five years or so. I'm always staying on the lookout for more info. to add to this data base.

I bought this NOS decal (old-style water transfer) that I believe is from "back in the day." It's about 5" in diameter and I've never seen another one. It is still attached to the backing paper, so it's a little hard to read but it says "Super Marauder 400 hp."

This is the cover of the Motor Guide "Hop Swap and Restyle" special magazine issue from June 1958. It looks like the Lincoln version of the SM to me.

The Lincoln Master Parts Catalog (September 1960 revision) still lists the SM tri-power specific to the Lincoln. So that's at least two years after it's introduction, as far as we can tell.

Thanks' for posting. Do you have any knowledge if there was any performance preference to a guy who had say a 430 swapped into a different car?

I've never seen or heard of a performance comparison between the Lincoln and Mercury Super Marauder set-ups.
